As we move into 2026, the demand for decentralized data storage has shifted from simple static files to massive, dynamic datasets required for AI. This is where @Walrus 🦭/acc shines. Unlike traditional protocols that struggle with latency, Walrus treats data as "blobs"—large binary objects—that are natively integrated with the Sui blockchain.
The "Red Stuff" erasure coding is the real hero here. In 2026, we are seeing AI startups use Walrus to store model weights exceeding 20GB. Because Red Stuff splits these files into "slivers" distributed across a global network, the data remains 100% available even if a large portion of nodes go offline. This high-throughput capability, combined with the programmable nature of $WAL , makes it more than just a "hard drive in the sky"; it is an active layer for the verifiable AI economy.
